Obama's SUV parked in a handicapped spot for 2 hours as he enjoyed upscale sushi with his daughters in LA

Staying out of handicapped parking spaces is for little people, apparently.

Staying out of handicapped parking spaces is for little people, apparently. While you or I would face a fine of $250 to $1,000 in California for parking in a handicapped spot in front of a fancy restaurant while we spent two hours inside, if we didn't have the necessary documentation, the rules are different for Barack Obama.

The U.K. Daily Mail reports:

Former President Barack Obama's Secret Service SUV was spotted parked in a handicapped spot for two hours as he dined at a swanky West Los Angeles sushi restaurant with his two daughters.

The black SUV stayed in a spot marked for handicap parking as it waited for the Obamas to finish eating at the pricey Hamasaku restaurant, where eight-piece sushi rolls cost $50 and specialty rolls go for more than $20 each.

Video taken by a bystander shows His Excellency, dressed completely in white, stepping out of the restaurant into the SUV driven by his Secret Service detail, which had been hogging the spot right in front of the restaurant for the entire time he was inside with Sasha and Malia, who both live in California.

Moments after it pulls out, a police vehicle drives by, probably part of its motorcade, though obviously no ticket was issued for the violation:

Because the Secret Service was on duty with the vehicle while Obama was inside, the SUV easily could have been parked nearby in a legal space and summoned by radio to pick up Obama as soon as he completed his meal. That way, anyone legitimately needing the spot — on crutches, in a wheelchair, or physically distressed when walking — could have had access to it.

I’d sure like to have driven up with my blue plates, my cane, hobble in and beg scraps from the king.

“He’s morally and intellectually handicapped, so it’s acceptable.”

Yes, there is that.

All former President’s have viable threats against them and their family and have USSS protection. You can continue to whine about an SUV sitting in a handicapped spot with an agent in the driver’s seat and the engine on, but I just don’t think it’s a big deal.

Oh, please grow up.

That SUV needs to be as easily accessible to the former president as is practical.

Besides, 80% of the people who park in handicap zone are clearly not handicapped.....

And Yes, I still despise the Obama’s

I'm surprised it wasn't parked in the fire lane. That has been the privileged parking space for blacks for years.

"but you are, as usual, wrong."

Always nice to meet a fan. I, conversely, have no idea who you are.

Clown.

They would impeach Trump a third time for this violation.

You are the guy who will always come out in favor of the elites doing what ever they like and for forcing ordinary people to bow down and kiss their toes. There are not that many of you on FR so you stand out.

I am not surprised you do not have any idea who I am. I am one of the many on FR who tell the elites to get bent and refuse to bow. There are so many of us.

IIRC King Barry had a long string of unpaid traffic tickets from his college and post-grad days.

Tickets, apparently, are for LIttle People.

Yeah it seems like the Secret Service does this a lot,

Also $20 or $50 for sushi doesn’t sound fancy or “swanky”, that’s fairly normal for a sushi place

Ah yes, the ever-present tinfoil hat guys posting about the shadowy “elites.” You are a special breed around here. But since you have nothing specific to make your point, I’ll just bid you good day.

Picture Trump doing this. They would be immolating themselves on cable news.

Mentally handicapped parking in physically handicapped parking space - eh, close enough.
